Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 60 km apart · Kingaroy profile · Kilkivan profile

Kingaroy Kilkivan

Kingaroy and Kilkivan are two Queensland areas with very different characters. Kingaroy is a larger hub where 22% of residents are recent overseas arrivals, while Kilkivan is more rural, with a typical resident aged 50 compared to 38 in Kingaroy. This difference is also seen in housing; 36.1% of Kingaroy households are rented, whereas 46.8% of Kilkivan homes are owned outright. Kingaroy is more walkable, with a score of 3.5 (mostly car-dependent) and 86.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, while Kilkivan is car-dependent (score 1.4) and only 27.3% of homes are near a park.

Both areas share a similar profile in many ways, such as having almost the same share of people who do not have a religion. They also have nearly identical typical monthly home loan payments, around $1,200 to $1,300. While they share these commonalities, some gaps are growing; the age difference between the two has widened since 2011, and the difference in home ownership and rental rates has also increased.
